Hogwarts Card System Chapter 453

Chapter 453 This child must not be kept

The sky and the earth are so white that you can't even tell the difference between north, south, east and west.

Everything is completely white. You can't see it from a distance or from a distance, giving people a feeling of being extremely confused and unable to make a choice.

Neville looked around confusedly, wondering: "Am I not dead?"

He still remembered how Bella's extremely vicious killing curse hit his chest. For a moment, his life force seemed to be drained, and his soul began to rise and leave the body.

The reason why Neville faced these people alone was to end his own life and take away Voldemort's last Horcrux with the help of Death Eaters.

Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to take away Bella, a crazy woman with many sins and **** hands.

But Bella was really cunning and ruthless. After discovering that Neville was unexpectedly strong and excellent in defense, she even chose to sacrifice one of her companions - while Neville was attacking a Death Eater, a The two consecutive spells first opened a big hole in his companion, and then a green light penetrated it and hit Neville.

Bella was forced to use this method because Neville had killed several others before.

　　"I shouldn't be considered a loss, right?" He lowered his head and looked at his hands. The wand was not there, but he was wearing clothes, which turned out to be the basic Hogwarts school uniform robe.

"So, I am dead, right? Am I in a soul state now?" Neville was not sure of his current situation.

But a voice suddenly sounded: "Yes, Longbottom, you are dead. This should be a transit point for the soul of a newly deceased person."

"Who?!" Neville was startled and looked around cautiously, but he didn't see anyone.

That voice was a female voice. It was very strange and I had never heard it before. Who was it?

At this time, Neville suddenly felt something on his chest. He quickly reached out and took it out, and found that it was a small bead.

This is the amulet Ted gave himself before to keep with him. How did you bring it here?

If Neville goes to China, he will know that there is a custom there, which is to bring cover money and dog biscuits to the deceased!

 “Are you talking?” Neville asked.

The little bead suddenly trembled, and then turned into a very thin, curly green snake.

Neville was startled, but he resisted subconsciously throwing it away.

"Hello, Neville Longbottom." The little snake spat out a letter and spoke, "I am sent by Ted to help you. My name is Nagini."

 Nagini? !

Neville knew this name. He had heard Hermione talk about this woman's pitiful experience. It is said that she is now finding herself in the game. Why did he turn into a snake and appear here?

 “You, you're dead too?” Neville asked.

Nagini coiled around one of his fingers, "I'm not dead, it should be considered an out-of-body experience. After all, my body has turned into a snake, and it's not suitable for my soul to return yet. However, I have recovered it." lose one's own humanity and memory.”

Neville nodded, feeling confused. Although he was very good at breathing methods, holy light magic, herbal cultivation, magic body fighting, etc., he was still clueless in other areas.

Like the Shadow Realm studied by Jerry, Ron's magic mechanics, machine soul joy, etc. are completely incomprehensible.

The only thing that overlaps with my friend's research field may be Harley's magical condensation and manifestation magic.

This thing about soul and human nature sounds very complicated at first glance. Like Ted's field of study.

 “You said Ted asked you to help me, what's going on?” Neville asked.

 “You are dead now.” Nagini emphasized again.

Neville nodded: I understand, can you say something else? Keep poking at my wounds?

 There was no expression on Nagini's snake face, but Neville always felt that she was smiling.

 Nagini: "But don't worry, although you are dead, you are not dead yet."

"The amulet Ted gave you is a soul-protecting amulet. Although the killing curse caused your soul to leave the body, your soul was not harmed because of the protection of the amulet. As long as you find a way to leave here, You can be reborn!"

 “Get out of here? How to get out of here?” Neville asked quickly.

Who wants to die if he can live?

 My friends, my classmates, my Ginny are still waiting for me!

Nagini was slightly proud: "That's why Ted asked me to help you, because I have been here before in the process of finding myself, so I have experience. So I'm here to help you!"

 “What are we going to do?” Neville was impatient.

  Nagini: “First, we have to take action.”

 “Get moving?”

 “Yes, let's go.”

 “Where to go?”

"Go in any direction. It's definitely not possible to stay where you are. And there is no concept of direction here. As long as you start walking, you will always reach it. Let's go."

 “Okay!” Neville randomly picked a direction and began to stride forward. While observing, he communicated with Nagini and asked her about her last experience here.

　　Even when Neville was undergoing his final "trial", the battle in reality did not stop.

 It can even be said to be intensified!

 Because this time, although the Ministry of Magic's defense in Hogsmeade was broken, the entire village was occupied. So now in the entire British wizarding world, Hogwarts is the only place that has not been captured.

 However, the casualties this time were really huge.

  And it was the kind where the real Death Eaters suffered heavy casualties, which was something that had never happened in the previous battles.

Those living dead wizards, monster cannon fodder, and even those magical races who took refuge will die as soon as they die. But the Death Eaters are Voldemort's direct subordinates after all. Not to mention their weakening in strength, they can't live with it in terms of face!

Especially, although the Ministry of Magic failed and retreated to the school, the losses were not big, but they suffered huge casualties on their own side.

 The Death Eaters feel a little guilty if they want to brag about their tragic victory.

 Because of the defeat in this battle, even Bella was scolded several times by Voldemort.

 In his opinion, with just these few pieces of rotten garlic, you actually achieved such a battle-loss ratio? What a waste!

 Even if I don't have any expectations for you, you will be disappointed by me, right? !

However, after Bella said that she had killed the golden boy Neville Longbottom, Voldemort's attitude obviously improved a lot.

　　Although he still said something: I should deal with that boy myself. You made me lose a lot of fun and so on.

 But it's just a matter of speaking out against the integrity of the body.

 The death of such an old enemy still made him elated.

 So, the matter of casualties has passed.

However, the Dark Lord was still a little curious, how could he cause such heavy casualties?

  After all, the traditional wizard magic system does not have particularly lethal power, or magic with a large range and wide impact. Why did those losers from the Ministry of Magic kill so many of my people?

Even fifty thousand pigs cannot be caught in three days!

 So he checked the memory of a surviving Death Eater.

At this glance, Ted was seen floating in the sky like a **** and demon, with a bright ball of light behind him, and thunder and lightning flowing in his hands. Thunder and lightning fell from the sky like rain, killing Death Eaters and Death Eaters one after another. monster.

 The whole scene is like divine punishment!

Voldemort watched this scene and deeply felt the bone-deep fear of his Death Eaters. He was silent for a long time.

That's really a sight without saying a word.

 Because of Ted's behavior at that time, what should I say? Bluffing! How bluffing!

 It's a bit, a bit like Payne's "a bag of rice carrying several buildings" that makes Konoha Village feel pain.

 What a supermodel!

At that time, Voldemort had an impulse in his heart - kill him!

This boy is only 17 years old, but he has already reached the peak of being a wizard. In a few years, he will get a glimpse of the legendary realm. Then it will be Dumbledore again!

Without further ado, no more Grindelwald can come out to interfere with me!

 Voldemort: This child is so terrifying that we must not keep him! The Death Eaters and the peripheral dark wizards only know that the mad woman Bella is really crazy, and they don't care when her head is hot.

But they didn't expect that Bella was just a dwarf in front of Voldemort.

 How could Bella compare to Voldemort when he went crazy?

Just like this, there was a big battle. Seven or eight hundred wizards passed by, but only a hundred or less than two hundred came back alive. Three thousand undead souls, six thousand or seven thousand cannon fodder monsters, the whole army was wiped out.

As a result, Voldemort only let everyone rest for one night, and the next day he notified all his subordinates in Britain and surrounding areas, and they all gathered together to complete the battle!

This time the Dark Lord will take action himself!

 Hey guys, you just managed to survive a battle. You had nightmares all night. Are you going to the battlefield again the next day?

Had I known this, I would have been a wild man in the mountains and forests!

 Lao Tzu is here to enjoy the glory, wealth and wanton behavior. Didn't he come here to die?

 But it's too late to say anything now. You bear the Dark Mark, and you are the slave and servant of the Dark Lord.

If you disobey or make the Dark Lord angry, he will let you know that some things are worse than death.

 In just a few hours, Voldemort had gathered almost all the available manpower here.

There are probably more than 400 to 500 wizards, just over a thousand monsters, only 200 above level 10, and only 30 to 40 above level 14.

This has left Germany and several surrounding countries empty. Almost all the Death Eater forces gathered.

 But if the Dark Lord takes action himself, it should be no big deal.

Let's wave the flag and shout. Let's mix~

So, on Christmas Eve, December 24, Voldemort personally led his troops north and settled in the somewhat damaged Hogsmeade village.

"Send an ultimatum to Hogwarts and ask them to hand over Bones, Epiphany and others. The Dark Lord will forget the blame and will be my good servant from now on. Otherwise, if the war starts tomorrow, the British wizarding world may be wiped out. !”

 Voldemort's ultimatum was delivered by Bella herself.

Before dinner in the afternoon, Bella's high-pitched voice with a bit of nervousness resounded through the area around Hogwarts like rolling thunder, confessing Voldemort's "mercy".

He also added a lot of content to compliment Voldemort and humiliate the Ministry of Magic.

 At this time, the school was already full of people.

Even the edge of the Black Lake and the Quidditch pitch were full of tents.

 Everyone is busy preparing for the next battle.

Some people feel pessimistic about the fall of Hogsmeade, while others think the battle was pretty good. After all, the opponent suffered heavy casualties, and their own side was much lighter in comparison.

Besides, Hogwarts is a millennium magic school, and its defense is definitely no worse than the temporarily reinforced Hogsmeade.

 Can the Death Eaters tolerate such a loss?

But speaking of it, Ted's look at mastering thunder and lightning is so cool!

 After the night attack, Ted's image in everyone's minds is now different.

Even the directors and supervisors of the Ministry of Magic are extremely polite when they see Ted.

 The other party is already an existence that I cannot imagine!

However, everyone knows that there is a mysterious person on the other side who cannot be named. That is the real devil!

 As soon as Bella's voice sounded, everyone remembered the fear of being dominated by the Dark Lord again.

 In a short period of time, people were panicked and their morale was -20!

There were several undercover Death Eaters who had retreated to the school with them. At this time, they felt that it was a God-given opportunity. It was time to show their loyalty to the Dark Lord and make meritorious deeds!

 Just tell this person, tell that person in secret, how the battle is not optimistic, how terrifying and powerful the Dark Lord is, and that we will all be killed in the end!

Since the mysterious man only demands the handing over of Ted and Secretary Bones, why don't we...right?

It would be better for just the two of them to die than for us to die together, right?

 Why should we be buried with them? !

 Besides, the Dark Lord didn't say to kill them, so maybe they don't have to die? !

However, just over an hour later, a team of Aurors, led by Mad Eye Moody, began to arrest those who had shaken the morale of the army.

 After all, during the battle in the previous two days, someone had destroyed the defensive formation internally, otherwise Hogsmeade Village might not have been lost.

Some people have been investigating this matter for the past two days, and there are still people who dare to jump out!

Originally, Mad-Eye Moody was no longer the Auror instructor of the Ministry of Magic and should not have led the Aurors. However, the iron-blooded hawk Scrimgeour died heroically in the Battle of Hogsmeade. Now there is no one in the school better than Moody. Dee gained more authority among the Aurors.

At dawn the next day, Voldemort walked out of his temporary laboratory. He was barefoot and his skin was as white as if he had been dead for three days. He was simply dressed in a black robe, as if he was wearing nothing underneath, highlighting his ease. .

"It seems that the other party has not chosen to accept my kindness?" he asked.

A Death Eater on one side said: "Master, they captured a few of our undercover agents we had arranged before."

 Bella raised the silver hand made by Voldemort for her, "Master, let me go! I will lead people to break up Hogwarts and capture those people to sacrifice to the master!"

 Voldemort glanced at her: Stop bragging!

 But at this moment, a Death Eater suddenly broke in: "No, no, Master. G-Gringotts was attacked..."

 Gringotts has been attacked!

Although there was a chaotic few days just after the Ministry of Magic was captured, many Death Eaters were trying to pry the treasure house in Gringotts, but not many succeeded.

 Besides, Gringotts also has a long history and a profound foundation.

Just the savings and treasure troves of those dead wizards and families are a lot of money! It doesn't matter if someone robs you a little bit.

 After the foreign fairies settled in, it started to operate again.

These foreign goblins are even more daring, and they actually started to secretly speculate in gold in the British Muggle society!

 After all, although running a bank is very profitable, wouldn't it be even more profitable to cut leeks? It came quickly!

However, they elves do understand economics and finance better than wizards, but they are far behind those financial giants like Muggles who specialize in cutting leeks and even make a career out of it.

The situation is so chaotic now. Regardless of the US dollar and the British pound, they have all depreciated sharply. Only gold and hard currency are soaring. I don't know how many people were involved in this.

The goblins went in with Gringotts Galleons at the bottom, and they were buried within three days, and they were immediately trapped.

At this time, these goblins discovered how abominable Muggles are!

 It's so abominable! You fairies are all lying, you are inhumane!

 But this matter must be resolved quickly. This is not your own money, this is the Dark Lord's money. The goblins just wanted to borrow money to make money, but they lost money.

If the Dark Lord discovered this, he would not have to directly extract the soul and make it into a zombie!

The goblins are busy working hard to maintain the economic operation of the magic world with limited funds. It can be said that they are sweating every day. My first reaction after getting off work is: Another day has passed!

 This is not a solution either!

So, someone came up with a solution.

 After much deliberation, we have arrived at the “Hogsmeade Village Victory”!

The Dark Lord is going to Hogwarts himself to capture the enemy's last stronghold.

 The goblins feel that the opportunity has come!

By chance, one of the goblins from Switzerland had some valuable news. The fairies hit it off immediately and took risks.

It turns out that Switzerland has bad feng shui or something, and there is always a risk of aliens coming in.

 There have been two major events in the Orc cave and the Orc city before.

 And this goblin from Switzerland happens to know a secret, a secret about the infiltration of other worlds.

It turns out that there is an alien entrance point that appeared very early, before the magic network was covered, but because there was nothing abnormal, it was not discovered.

 But the goblin knew that he was a local after all!

 He felt that this news would help the goblins settle their accounts. After thinking about it, the goblins realized that they were already at this stage and could give it a try.

Hence the attack on Gringotts!

Don't tell me, we were actually attacked, and it wasn't simple. It was actually a giant dragon that attacked Gringotts!

　　Even before leaving, he occupied all the treasure troves under Gringotts!

This is not a fire dragon from this world, it is a giant dragon, a giant dragon from another world!

 A giant dragon with a body length of forty meters!

Those goblins who woke up this giant dragon and provoked it were also dumbfounded: You didn't say anything about how big this dragon was!

This giant dragon sleeping in a golden nest under Gringotts is called Smaug!
